Squaw Creek

We stopped at a gas station before we went into the refuge.  As we were getting back in the car, I looked up and said "swans".  I quick rolled down my window and took a few shots.  I have never seen swans in flight - until today.  What a great treat!

A red tailed hawk.

An eagle with a goose head - yum.

At the lunch room.

Lunch - snow geese.

Thanksgiving morning - nice light

Sunset - Happy Thanksgiving

The sunsets this time of year can be stunning.  Darwin called me on his way home from work - what a guy.  I'm so thankful for him.  Happy Thanksgiving all.

Us - Christmas portrait

Craigslist Photography Treasures!!!

An Eastman Kodak Scale used to weigh dry chemicals for processing.

Here's an advertisment for this system used in 1907-1920..... http://www.boxcameras.com/simplekodakway.html

Check out this one too - you could take it camping.  I think it's me in the dress and Darwin is developing the pictures from the day!!!!   http://www.nwmangum.com/Kodak/FTank-1.html

They came from a historical house in Florence, NE - the first town in Nebraska. What a fun connection to the past - we sure have come a long way since 1907 - although if you notice, the housewife is processing pictures in her home and I'm now doing the same with digital.  Maybe it's really a case of what goes around comes around.

Stop by and measure yourself an ounce of chocolate chips any time!
